Re: Danish Delight - Caroline Wozniacki thread - vol 6
Tbh it's another ridiculous decision to have Caro's opponent play 2 matches tomorrow as well. That match should have been one of the priorities today. A cynic would say they are trying to help their top seeds make the latter stages (same is true for Vinci's opponent as well), and when you look at the matches they are trying to play today it really does look like they are.

1 But know this: difficult times will come in the last days. | 1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. |
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, | 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, |
3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, | 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, |
4 traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, | 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God-- |
5 holding to the form of religion but denying its power. Avoid these people! | 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. |
6 For among them are those who worm their way into households and capture idle women burdened down with sins, led along by a variety of passions, | 6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, |

Guangdong Zhenrong Energy Co., backed by a Chinese state-owned company, offered as much as HK$200 million ($25.8 million) for a controlling stake in Titan Petrochemicals Group Ltd. (1192)
Guangdong will pay between HK$150 million and $200 million for a 51 percent holding via a share sale, Titan said yesterday in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange. Guangdong also offered as much as HK$1.3 billion to acquire a stake owned by Warburg Pincus LLC, subject to the dismissal of winding-up proceedings against the company.
"We hope Titan shareholders can seriously consider it," Li Hui, a Guangdong-based spokesman at the acquirer, said by telephone today. "It's too early to publicly comment on the matter beyond Titan's filing to the exchange."
Saturn Petrochemical Holdings Ltd., a special-purpose vehicle of private-equity firm Warburg Pincus, filed a winding- up petition against Titan in the Supreme Court of Bermuda July 5. Titan, which provides services including oil and storage transportation in the Asia-Pacific region, said it is in shareholders and creditors' interest to pursue talks on the deal.
Shares Halted
Titan shares, which have fallen 22 percent this year, were suspended in Hong Kong on June 19 ahead of a company announcement. The stock remains halted, it said today.
The company is still assessing the offer and a deal is not certain, Titan said.
Guangdong Zhenrong, which trades oil products, non-ferrous metals, coal and chemicals, will also provide short-term financing of as much HK$320 million to Hong Kong-based Titan, according to the filing. Guangdong is 44.3 percent owned by state-owned Zhuhai Zhenrong Co., Titan said in the statement.
Zhuhai Zhenrong was sanctioned by the U.S. in January for gasoline sales to Iran between July 2010 and July 2011, the U.S. State Department said in a statement Jan. 13.
Warburg has invested more than $215 million in the Titan group of companies since 2007, according to the petition filed in Bermuda. Titan hasn't been profitable in any of the past five years, and its liabilities at the end of last year exceeded its assets by HK$1.24 billion, according to the petition.

Bad Skin Needed Help! - New York, NY
I have had acne since I was a teenager, now 33 years old I wanted to have clear smooth skin.

Stealth detection items nerfed {WoW}
May 15th 2009 7:46AM Ye, but thats why I am speaking about WG. As it is regularly happening to my char there. If my char is unable to free from stunlock - cooldown of trinket, I am deadmeat. And now I don´t even have a chance to at least recognize threat slightly in advance. I know I will die, but I want to fight back at least ;)
Stealth detection items nerfed {WoW}
May 15th 2009 3:56AM I am playing lvl 80 DK, have equiped Epic PvP gear in all slots except sigil + eng plate googles. I do play WG a lot. Quite often I am being sent to GY by any rogue with tenacity of my health * 4 who catches me by surprise while traveling alone from one place to another. With my BG trinket on CD I have no single chance to return one shot to him before dying. Why the hell do Blizz nerf only help I have? I just stare at my char being abused by OP rogue and I just simply don´t feel any joy from playing Worlf of Nerfcraft anymore.

Katy Perry — "Part Of Me" (lyric video)
"Part Of Me" is the lead single off Perry's re-tooled Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection (out March 27). And, now that we're hearing the full track, it sounds appropriately like an after-thought. Without any memorable chorus (melodically, it's all a bit monotonous, isn't it?), "Part Of Me" fails to reach the soaring heights or brandish the irresistible hooks of previous singles like "Teenage Dream", "Firework" and "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)".
What do you think of "Part Of Me"?

Pantone and X-Rite Introduce the PantoneLIVE Tool for Brand Management
March 1, 2012"The benefits of using PantoneLIVE are clear," says Nigel Dickie, director of corporate and government affairs for Heinz (see Beanz Meanz Heinz and Knowing about Color case study). "The digital tools gave us unprecedented control and consistency from different print processes and materials. Across all of our packaging formats we saw a reduction in color variance of 50 percent and saved time by establishing one color target that can be applied to all our Heinz Beanz designs. The results with our Beanz packaging have been so remarkable that we plan to extend PantoneLIVE to additional product lines, including Heinz soups and Spaghetti Hoops."
While accurate color is important to the brand identity of consumer packaged goods, protecting brand integrity in the pharmaceutical industry is crucial as counterfeit drugs put the health of consumers at risk. Chesapeake, a global producer of consumer packaging for many of the world's leading pharmaceutical companies, turned to PantoneLIVE to increase consistency in its customers' packaging. When it comes to pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications, even the slightest variation in packaging color can make a product suspect and the brand vulnerable to counterfeiting.
On one job, for example, Chesapeake was able to reduce color variation by 84 percent and improve process controls, which led to zero rejections from the print run and 100 percent client approval. PantoneLIVE is creating another positive impact on Chesapeake's business. The company previously stocked as many as 3,000 different inks in its Leicester, U.K. plant and now stores only 537 without reducing color choices.
PantoneLIVE is connected to a large portfolio of software, containing real-world color data for hundreds of thousands of colors, and is supported by the latest color measurement technology. This is combined with professional services including workflow and color rationalization audits, and customized operating procedures from Pantone and X-Rite. Custom and bespoke spectral data, as well as metadata, are used to digitize brand colors. Digitized palettes are then expanded to create independent color standards to allow for accurate color reproduction on a variety of substrates.
Brand color data, equivalent to a digital color swatch, is stored in a secure, cloud-based portal that lets brand owners and other approved members of the supply chain manage digital rights and facilitate color communication across all materials in the production process. This centralized color communication process promotes consistency and helps achieve speed to market efficiencies from initial design to final production. The portal also provides direction to suppliers to meet brand requirements related to color quality.
Industry Support
While users of any manufacturer's ink will be able to take advantage of PantoneLIVE, Sun Chemical (see Sun Chemical press release) is the preferred ink partner. Esko (see Esko press release), a global supplier of integrated solutions for packaging, sign and display finishing, commercial printing and professional publishing, is also a preferred partner supporting PantoneLIVE. Both companies worked closely with Pantone and X-Rite to develop PantoneLIVE. Sun Chemical's technology and color data are the foundations for PantoneLIVE, and this technology is integrated into Esko's solutions.
In addition, Windmöller & Hölscher, a leading supplier of flexographic central impression and rotogravure printing presses, is recognized as the PantoneLIVE technology partner, serving the flexible packaging industry. In this unique capacity, Windmöller & Hölscher will extend the capability of their EASY COL on-press color matching solution to incorporate access to the PantoneLIVE ecosystem, thereby allowing converters to reduce press set-up times and in turn assure the quality of important brand colors on press.
Pantone and X-Rite are continuing to work with leading vendors to integrate and enhance their solutions with PantoneLIVE. This approach will offer customers real value in the color management and color communications process, while leaving much of their current investments in place.
Pricing and Availability
Access to the PantoneLIVE database starts at $99 annually for a designer, $1,150 annually for preproduction and from $2,000 to $2,650 annually for production. A color audit for a brand owner starts at $4,500. Additional fees apply depending on services and scope required. PantoneLIVE solutions will be available June 15. For more information, please see www.pantone.com/live.

The only theroetical way it hurts performance is that due to the engine heat, it will cause the steel to heat up, therefore causing the cool air to become warm air, thus, making it contradict its performance.
americanflag Posts: 400The Mach 1 is just incredible, the seats, the 305 hp engine, and most of all the shaker hood. Maybe mod kits will become more available after it comes out.
These special editions seem to bring ideas that trickle down to the rest of us ordinary folk - for example, one of my favorite things about my 03 GT is the Bullitt wheels.
Now if I can just locate (and afford) the Bullitt mufflers! -
demonspeed Posts: 75
americanflag Posts: 400they have a Bullitt edition. If they want to cry about the Bullitt wheels being on the Premium GT's, then so what? Maybe they can trade their Bullitt in for a regular GT. I'm sorry but one of my hot buttons is elitism, that is one reason I like to drive a Mustang. If I wanted to be elitist, I'd drive a BMW.
americanflag Posts: 400then maybe in the future Ford should give a written statement to those who buy the limited editions that says limited edition features can pop up on later models. But I hope the brainstorming the Ford design team does continues to impact all the models to some extent. Kind of like the space program has resulted in all kinds of new innovations that are useful here on earth. I heard that after the Mach 1, Ford is going to do a 302 Boss edition! That should be great.
americanflag Posts: 400I also love the seats! I thought the Bullitt seats were great too. In general, I would like to see the Mustang GT at least get a more retro style leather seat. Also, on the GT, Ford could do a better job on the instruments. The green instruments I think do not befit a GT. How much more expensive could it be to put in better looking gauges?
americanflag Posts: 400There are some detail areas that I don't think would be that difficult (expensive) for Ford to improve on in the Mustang. However, I would rather have a few weak areas and the relatively affordable price of the GT. If they make the car too perfect than it can become too expensive and go the way of the RX-7 or the 300ZX or even the Camaro and Firebird. So I guess that is the other side.

john_324 Posts: 974Re the seats in the GT, what kills me is that Ford had it right at one point. The seats in '80s GTs were great, with lots of bolstering in the right areas. I guess they decided that "retro" should apply to the seats as well...
The K&Ns are great. In the long run, they are cheaper than using paper filters, you get a little better gas mileage (every bit helps with these cars), and a slightly better engine sound. Plus you can stick a gigantic "K&N Performance" sticker on your hood, in the manner of certain other automotive "enthusiasts"... ; )
As for the Bullitt wheels and other parts, didn't Ford state early on that the special models (Bullitt, Mach One, and hopefully Boss) would be used to test-market certain features for application to regular production models? But having said that, I have the regular (increasingly rare it seems) forked GT wheels on my Mustang, and think them appropriate to my car. I like the Bullitts (who doesn't), but can't help but sometimes feel that they'd be even cooler if they came only on Bullitts (in the same manner as the dark highland green color) -John -
americanflag Posts: 400All I know is I love my "Bullitt" wheels and I am very glad to have them on my regular GT. I think they are just beautiful wheels, I give Ford a "10" on these wheels. I will be adding a K&N filter too!
On the seats, I was just curious if that is the case that a major influence on the new seats is the retro look? (I personally like the seats, but I like retro, so maybe that is why.) -
gt4me Posts: 58The seats are horrible. Take a couple hairpins at racing speeds (if you're into driving schools like I am) and you'll know what I mean. That along with the fact that the back seats are not even real leather kinda upsets me. Not that I didn't get all that for 21k, but the fact that I had no options for REAL leather backseats and REAL racing-esque front seats. Ah, I'm just venting...freezing my Florida boy butt off in a hotel room in North Carolina. Don't mind me...

john_324 Posts: 974Price sounds about right, maybe even low (based on what I see where I live)...sounds like a good deal. If it's in good shape (i.e. if those 5k miles were done right), and not a rental car, I'd say snap it up. BTW what wheels does it have on it now? The bright aluminum 5-spoke ones with the exposed lugs, right? I've always thought those look good, and very appropriate to the car. I'd say keep the wheels, just get better tires. -John
gt4me Posts: 58with reference to the V6 Price. Pick that thing up man!
With regards to driving a car hard...As long as you know HOW to drive a car and it's done in a safe place (track, course, ect) under the right conditions, the only thing you'll have to worry about replacing are tires and brake pads. When driven correctly (which I've yet to master myself) and smoothly, the car should not take any kind of abuse. A good driver is a smooth driver. You shouldn't feel anything but acceleration and braking. Never should shifting or clutching be jumpy. -
evendal Posts: 7I checked out the Bullit exhaust sound track on MustangExhaust.com and it sounds great. I have just picked up a new 02 Gt and I'd really like to install this system. I've been to the local ford dealer and these pipes and mufflers are available but his information resources seem to be limited. Please help? Will this system bolt on to the H pipe the same as the original system without modifications, will it be a suitable installation with the stock 4.6L V8,(don't want to do any other mods right now) and will it effect the emisson standards. thanks
americanflag Posts: 400on Mustangexhaust.com and I agree it sounds great. However, the Mustang specialists in town here have said that in reality the Bullitt exhaust does not sound that much better or different than other aftermarket exhausts. For this reason, I am considering an X-pipe with some type of turbo syle mufflers instead of just adding the Bullitt mufflers to the existing exhaust. I understand that the X-exhaust system raises the perfomance and horsepower of the car significantly, and it should sound good too. Also, I understand it is high quality, stainless steel or chrome or something and should last as long as the car. Total cost on the system including X-exhaust and mufflers should be about $600. I don't have the answers and am still learning, I love the Bullitt exhaust sound in the movie but I believe I will probably end up going with the X-exhaust and flowmasters or something similar. Good luck.
demonspeed Posts: 75Bassani makes the best quality x-pipes. Dr. Gas is another reputable company. I have a BBK x-pipe on my 93 GT and I love it. I am running a flowmaster catback with 2 chamber mufflers and it's definetly a great sound w/o being obnoxious. Stangnet.com should be all of your best friends!
cuteeric17 Posts: 43
americanflag Posts: 400so if you like the design, you should go for it. I am a little concerned, often as not they mess the cars up as they "evolve". Look at the Camaro, the Z cars, etc. Maybe the price will go up. Also, it normally takes several years for a manufacturer to get a new model "right". Look at how the current generation kept getting better in terms of looks and performance, and have peaked with the 02-03's. Yes, I am prejudiced.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Monte & Marley!
Facts about Monte & Marley
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Monte & Marley's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, and up to date with shots.
Meet adorable little Monte and Marley and fall in love!! They have the most wonderful brindle markings I have ever seem on a chihuahua. They are 2 and 4 years old and have always been together and are very bonded. We want to adopt them to a loving home together. They are great with other dogs, cats and love children, as you can see from the picture. They have great house manners and are good in the car. Do you have room in your heart and home for these wonderful little guys?!
Other Pets at Happy Tails Happy Homes
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Monte & Marley, a Bellingham Chihuahua dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Bellingham, or seeking a Chihuahua dog from a breeder in Bellingham.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bellingham already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Bellingham breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bellingham paves the way for another one to be saved.

Moderator Welcome to today's online chat with NCTM President Johnny Lott. We'll take as many questions as we can in the next hour. Here's our first question:
Question from: Fredericksburg, Texas
Just so you know, I don't have a math "degree." I've taken through Calculus 3 and one semester of Probability and Statistics. My ninth-grade kids last year (my first year teaching math) scored an average 98% passing on TAKS with 29% receiving state commendation for superior scores. Students of the other teachers with math "degrees" teaching the same course scored quite a bit below mine. I'm thinking you might want to take that into consideration next time you suggest that "current high school mathematics curricula can be taught successfully only by teachers who have a deep knowledge of mathematics." I don't mean it rudely, but I think your statement should be modified. Or am I the exception to the rule? Do you care to comment?
Johnny Lott: Deep understanding of mathematics comes to teachers in many ways. A major question for certification agencies and administrators is how to measure this or to predict whether or not teacher either have it or may attain it. One measure may be a degree in a content area. This is not the sole way to attain deep understanding. There have been many famous mathematicians without degrees. However, there have been more with them. You've mentioned test scores as a criterion for students. Could you assess deep understanding of mathematics for teachers with tests?
Question from: Beverly, Massachusetts
I teach at a school for students with language-based learning disabilities. We hire two or three new math teachers every year. How can I help new teachers develop their "bag of tricks?" (different ways of presenting the material, concrete representations of the concepts, problems students typically have...) Are there any resources that you can recommend?
Johnny Lott:
One resource that was designed for middle school students and their families is the Figure This! set of materials available online at www.figurethis.org. The first set of materials was translated into Spanish. Those materials have different solutions presented to the same set of problems and could be a start. Though they were designed for middle school, they have been used in different places. The first booklet of 15 of the entire set of 80 challenges has been translated.
Another set of resources from NCTM is the Changing the Faces of Mathematics series. With references there, you have a wealth of information.
Question from: Indio, California
A significant problem that seems to exist in this area is the fact that we do not employ enough teachers who actually have a degree with mathematics as a major. In many of the mathematics departments, the majority are non-math majors. This majority has an overwhelming influence in very critical issues regarding policies set in the math department. As a result, the suggestions put forth by the minority of math faculty with well-established degrees are not welcomed and almost appear intimidating to those who do not understand the extent of a full mathematics curriculum. The opinions and actions of this majority of non-math teachers are supported by the administration. Basically, during the year multiple-choice tests are strongly encouraged, and practice test booklets are given out a few months prior to the state tests. Teachers are told to teach to the test. How can the math-major faculty encourage both the administration and non-math major faculty to teach math in a more productive way and allow students to become better problem solvers? Currently the students are taught how to eliminate some of the multiple-choice answers and then given repetitive questions so that students identify answers by the type of questions.
You raise many issues. Let me try to respond to some of them. With a mix of math majors and non-math majors in a department, it behooves members to find ways and times to discuss issues. If discussion is limited to policy issues, then it may be very difficult to find a common ground. If teachers talk and share lessons, visit each other's classes—even in a limited way—and communicate on small issues, this may help on the bigger ones that you identify.
Another issue is teaching how to take a test. This is not a bad skill for students to learn for a variety of reasons, including it being a means to talk about reasoning beyond the classroom. However, if this overwhelms the really big mathematical ideas that we are to teach, then there are many other potential issues.
Question from: Exeter, Pennsylvania
What high school curriculum do you specifically recommend for what used to be "basic math students?" New state standards have left us no "basic math" option. Unfortunately, some students cannot function proficiently beyond a "basic math" curriculum. Please help!
There may be a very small subset of students with specific challenges who need special curricula. However, it sounds like your "new state standards" may align with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act in promoting mathematics for all students. The phrase "all students" is not used lightly either by NCLB or NCTM. In general, ALL students can learn mathematics and ALL can typically benefit from the same curriculum. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is inequity, some students were not allowed to study important mathematics in the past. One important aspect of NCLB has been to make us as teachers think very carefully about what is being done with students. Having this challenge may also pose other issues for us, including what additional tools we may need to add to our toolkit to make sure that all students can succeed.
Message from: Ashdown, Arizona
My students are mostly the lower math students and don't necessarily want or need upper high school math. What can I do to motivate them to higher math achievement?
A part of this question deals with that is "upper high school math." One basic question that I would ask and I think that Principles and Standards for School Mathematics addresses is what is "upper high school math?" Based on the work of the Conference Board of Mathematical Sciences, we know that far less than 20% of students who go to postsecondary mathematics ever take calculus. We must think about what "upper high school math" is for the majority of students.
One typical reason that many high school students think that they may never need or should study more mathematics in high school is that they see few applications. Teaching math in context has many benefits for these students. Look at some Math for Liberal Arts Students college texts for ideas that you might want to consider as topics for high school students who may never go to college. My belief is that all need math.
Question from: Mahopac, New York
How can we "encourage" Schools of Education to increase the math requirements for their students, especially in elementary education? Also, in my experience with student teachers, many, if not most, of their methods teachers do not have a math background, and yet they are responsible for these students.
In general, Schools of Education are not solely responsible for requirements for prospective teachers. This is usually a shared responsibility for Colleges of Arts and Sciences and the Schools of Education. Prospective teachers need both mathematics and pedagogy. Neither stands alone. Also, just as we expect precollegiate teachers to have a solid grasp on mathematics and a deep understanding of it, it is at least as important for college and university personnel who are teaching the content and methods classes to have a solid grasp on both content and methods.
Question from: Philadelphia
All secondary school mathematics teachers should know the state math standards and benchmarks for the grades they are teaching, and teach to proficiency in their classroom daily.
Johnny Lott: I doubt that anyone would disagree with your statement. However, secondary teachers also need to know not only what they teach daily, but what students have studied before and what comes after. The daily lessons cannot stand alone.
Question from: Corpus Christi, Texas
In our alternative discipline high school we are being force fed "schools to watch" middle school reform. Despite some similarities, we're trying to teach math skills for high school kids and I'm trying to do that and teach in special-ed learning disabled math (exceptional learners). Any ideas on how to get the kids what they need and keep inexperienced, unrealistic, and immature administrators off our necks and out of our classrooms? If we have to defend ourselves, documenting on "instructional drive bys" (instructional walks) responding to "scoldings," abusive and unrealistic administrators' knee jerks, we're out of energy to be very creative with the kids and their math needs.
I hate to admit that I'm not positive what some of the terms that you have used mean. I can guess, but that puts me in the mode of being a student and trying to answer what I think my teacher has asked.
However, you have pointed out something that we as math teachers have a major responsibility for that is in no job description—that is, educating our administrators about mathematics education. With those administrators with little math background, we may have to begin and continue a professional development effort that is subtle and persistent. Copying exciting lessons or lesson results to administrators, inviting them to participate in the class when they are doing a "walk-by," and being proactive about what is happening in the classroom are all small ways to start.
A very effective tool for helping get kids what they need is to have the kids help outline and document what they need for administrators and school boards. Having a student present class needs has proven very effective in many parts of the country.
A new NCTM resource that might be helpful is "Administrator's Guide: How to Support and Improve Mathematics Education in Your School." You might consider giving it as a gift.
Question from: Reston, Virginia
How much should teachers know about proof for teaching geometry and for teaching other courses? In what college courses should they be getting the proper perspective on what secondary school students should know?
If we are to reach the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics standard for reasoning, teachers have to be knowledgeable about reasoning and proof. Being mathematically mature about reasoning and proof is probably not something that is learned in a single class, but is something that typically develops over time. Many teacher preparation programs have gone to a class called "Introduction to Higher Mathematics" or "Introduction to Proof" or it could be in a "baby analysis class" where different styles and types of proof are studied.
In the classrooms, reasoning and proof should be a continual objective—stated or unstated, and it should start as soon as a student starts to school.
The second question about a "proper" perspective on what secondary school students should know is loaded. With our variety of school management structures and independent school districts designing standards, it is a virtually impossible task to prepare a prospective teacher for all that may be faced in the schools. However, we cannot ignore the approaches to mathematics that are being used in schools in the teacher preparation programs. Many other countries bring school materials into the content and methods classes for prospective teachers at all levels. The Mathematics Education of Teachers document suggests some of this as well. This is a lesson that we should take to heart.
However, because of all the different systems and requirements across the country, no teacher preparation program can prepare prospective teachers for everything they will be faced with in the classroom. It is the responsibility of the school systems and the fellow math teachers in schools to develop a mentoring program and a professional development program to help the inexperienced teachers with the school culture. It cannot be done effectively from the outside.
Question from: Coatesville, Pennsylvania
In addition to all the appropriate mathematics that should be known, secondary teachers, especially new teachers, should have better classroom management skills. Without good classroom control very little effective teaching can happen. It should not be simply on-the-job training.
And classroom management skills are not easily taught to prospective teachers. It can be done in theory, but of all the issues for prospective teachers, this one is almost impossible to simulate on a campus. Even in intern programs for prospective teachers, there is still a "real" teacher who is in charge. Good mentoring of new teachers can be very helpful here.
Question from: Libertyville, Illinois
What can teachers do to increase their ability to make connections between the different math subject areas? Most of our own study was disconnected, as are many of the texts that are utilized in high schools.
You asked about teachers increasing their ability to make connections between different math subject areas. This is a place that a deep understanding of mathematics is important. It also emphasizes a reason why teachers of different math subjects must talk to each other. Perhaps the best long-term solution in a school is for teachers to plan and work together to find the connections. Sometimes the best connections may start outside mathematics and then the mathematics connections inside can be made.
There are many good texts that make connections outside mathematics. One book with examples at different levels and from many fields from a very long time ago was "A Sourcebook of Applications of School Mathematics," written by a Joint Committee of the Mathematical Association of America and NCTM. It still has many good problems and ideas that can provide the start that might be needed.
Another more recent resource from the Council is "Integrated Mathematics Choices and Challenges." It has many good ideas.
How much discrete mathematics should a teacher know?
Teachers must know some discrete mathematics topics even if they have never had a discrete math course. Most curricula have data analysis sections. Knowing when tools are appropriate for discrete data versus when tools are appropriate for continuous data is a necessity.
We really do not need to re-do minor graph theory topics every year with students. How much a specific teacher needs depends somewhat on what and how much is in a school's curriculum. Note that in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, discrete math is not a separate standard but is woven throughout the curriculum. There will be a Navigations book coming out on discrete mathematics.
Question from: Denver
Is it possible to set a simple criterion for middle school math teachers on how much math they should know? For example, would it be a good criterion to say that they should understand secondary school mathematics through a proofs-based geometry course? Should the goal be set higher or lower? Or is using secondary math courses not even a good way to measure the best background for middle school math teachers?
Perhaps a better answer might be to say that middle school mathematics teachers have to know what comes before and what comes after the mathematics that they teach. I'm not sure that picking out a single high school course is the answer. If we teach the topics recommended in Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, there will be some data analysis topics that students will see throughout high school. Middle school teachers have a large load in terms of what they need to know. Note that high school teachers do as well because they need to know how mathematics is used or applies in postsecondary education and the workforce.
A single criterion might be far too simplistic.
Question from: Moorhead, Minnesota
In addition to the things listed in your article, I believe teachers need to understand the history of mathematics. In a recent study of college freshmen taking math courses, more than half of the students could not even name one famous mathematician. Putting a human face on math would help to change the view that math is just a bunch of abstract symbols. Including a brief historical setting when introducing a new concept helps students see why the concept was developed, how it was and is used, and why it is important to know.
As someone who loves history of mathematics, it is very difficult to disagree with you. However, if we want to use history of mathematics as a motivator for students, we have to recognize that math history did not stop at about 1900. Using math history effectively requires that we know current mathematicians and their work as well. This gets more difficult because the work is more specialized and much deeper. However it is with current history that you find major examples of diverse peoples who are still alive working in math.
With more "modern" history, you might also consider inviting to your school people who are actively working in mathematics. That too can be helpful.
Question from: Alpharetta, Georgia
I think that the current suggestion that mathematic educators be prepared as a math major with a 6-hour capstone class to bridge high school to college level mathematics is a good idea with respect to knowing theory. Since NCTM supports the idea of connections and context, what support or recommendations exist to encourage teachers and future teachers to engage in applied mathematics courses, such as engineering, science, and business? Do you see this as efficient means for teachers to bring "real-world" meaning to the classroom, perhaps demonstrating the importance of mathematics to the teenage population?
The capstone course also provides an opportunity for more than theory. I personally am always for teaching mathematics from the real world as contexts. Note that I also believe that mathematics itself is a context that we should use in the classroom. It should not be the sole context as often happens.
The "in-development" Committee on Undergraduate Preparation in Mathematics document by the Mathematical Association of America suggests different ways of thinking about connections and contexts for college freshmen that go far beyond engineering, science, and business. Those areas are not ignored, but neither do they provide the only important contexts for mathematics. Some examples might be found in this forthcoming document.
Question from: Bloomfield, New Jersey
Are we EVER going to do anything about teaching to the test? The HSPA in New Jersey is the test that gets students out of high school, and that is the obsession with all administrators. Getting kids into college after that is secondary in everyone's minds-at least in urban schools. The problem is, the more we teach to the test, the fewer students PASS the test. Why? Because there is no consistency in teaching the subject. There must be a hundred HSPA prep manuals out there and administrators are spinning wheels and spending money on this material instead of having teachers JUST TEACH MATHEMATICS in an orderly, understandable fashion. Can someone please address this problem?
In our test-driven society, you have addressed a major problem that touches many areas. NCTM is on record in an official position statement that opposes high-stakes testing. The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989) has an excellent chart on tests, when they might be used, and for what purpose. It is as valid today as it was when it was written.
If tests are being used by school systems as the sole criterion that limit a student's future accessibility to mathematics and careers that use mathematics, then the school system is in trouble.
Note that NCTM is not opposed to testing—reasonable testing. What is reasonable may have to be determined by different school systems. The testing mania of today is in large part a response of the public to a wariness or mistrust of school mathematics and teaching. We are going to have to rebuild the trust, and that will take time.
Yes, we are all interested in teaching mathematics more than testing. Our new emphasis has to be on students learning mathematics more than on "teaching." Note that the emphasis is on students where it always should have been.
Efforts to help teachers with assessment that are underway at NCTM include three assessment literacy guides that should be available during 2004, a continuing assessment column in the NCTM News Bulletin and a set of planned assessment samplers being written now at the different grade bands with items that could be used in the classroom. We hope that these will be helpful.
Question from: Milwaukee
I use the Connected Mathematics curriculum and love it. The kids get involved and learn to understand the math, as well as to do it. The reports I have from students who come back after 2-3 years are great—math is easier for them because they understand it and don't just do it by rote. But some teachers don't like this curriculum and want to change to something that is easier for them to teach and to understand. This takes constant inservicing of current and new teachers, understanding of algebraic thinking, a willingness to understand student thinking, and the flexibility to see more than one way of working a problem and seeing a situation. It is also very active teaching for the teacher—not always a quiet classroom. It is difficult to change the mindset of many current math teachers. Actually, those who are 1-8 trained are often more open to it because they are more used to hands-on types of teaching.
As teachers, we have to know that if a curriculum is static, it is dying. To expect any less is unrealistic. Whether a teacher is in a reform curriculum or in a traditional curriculum, if teaching methods and content are not continually evolving, the discipline is in trouble.
Your comments emphasize the continuing need for professional development for all teachers. We cannot let up on efforts to upgrade what we know and teaching strategies.
A plan that you might consider is to have your very new inexperienced teachers share content knowledge with experienced teachers while experienced teachers can share knowledge about teaching strategies. Both of these give opportunities for discussion and dialogues among peers. The students are the winners.
Question from: Morrisville, North Carolina
About 2 or 3 years ago, I attended an algebra conference where I found manipulatives for teaching algebra. I have not been able to find this since I began teaching Algebra 1. Could you help me locate some manipulatives for making algebra come alive to learning disabled students?
NCTM does not endorse any specific commercial products, but in the journals, both Mathematics Teacher and Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, products are discussed in articles and in reviews. Those are good places to begin a search.
Question from: Surabaya, Indonesia
I am a physics teacher from Indonesia but I like mathematics. I want to know how I could transfer mathematics principles or mathematics lessons more easily to my students.
My general answer to questions like this is to show the students how the mathematics is used in interesting problems and contexts beyond mathematics. Physics provides many opportunities, but don't rely solely on science. Look for resources in the community where mathematics is used. In the United States, fingerprint analysis, jury selection and census data are a few examples where the mathematics involved is really interesting and is accessible.
It's great to hear from colleagues everywhere, but thanks especially to you for participating when you are so far away physically. This use of Internet resources has really allowed us to cooperate worldwide. Thanks again.
Question from: Portage, Michigan
"Best Practices" and use of technology to enhance learning should be the goal of education, not which skills to teach. Multiple representation should continue to be a goal.
I don't disagree that you have listed valid goals. However, skills cannot and should not be ignored.
Question from: El Paso, Texas
I think they should know more teaching strategies to engage students and assess students' progress.
Because students learn differently, we as teachers cannot rely on single-shot teaching strategies. The best teachers are those with multiple strategies for teaching at their command.
Assessing student progress should also rely on more than single-shot tests. By using a variety of assessment techniques in the classroom, we can use best practice with students in assessment on a daily basis. Here we truly have the opportunity to use tools with which we teach and techniques with which we teach in the assessment process.
Question from: Peoria, Illinois
Teaching is the only profession I can think of where a young person can move from graduation to total responsibility with no significant job-specific training. Should schools be more accountable to developing teachers as professionals? And if not schools, who?
Though most teacher preparation programs do have some job-specific training in internship programs, field experiences, and student teaching, none of these are typically specific to an individual school. The specific job skills that are needed in individual schools MUST be the responsibility of the experienced teachers, administrators, and the district officials in the schools. For example, it is important for prospective teachers to experience working with diverse students, yet few pre-teaching experiences can provide the specifics of an individual school. This is one of the cases where the mean or median of teacher preparation programs may or may not prepare students for the real school experience. The programs cannot do this across the board. This is a frequently neglected responsibility of the schools and teachers in the schools. As teachers in the specific schools, we must do everything that we can to mentor and help inexperienced teachers. With the growing shortages, we cannot afford to do less.
Question from: Knoxville, Tennessee
Many preservice secondary teachers have been successful in "school mathematics." That is, they know what they need to do to pass the test. Understanding is not a desired goal, just a passing grade.
Is there a culture that we need to confront to really change the development of secondary school teachers?
I'm not totally sure that I agree with your first paragraph. I believe that in most programs the desired goal is understanding. At least it is the goal of most professors I know. It might or might not be for individual students. In a grade-conscious world, no one should downplay the passing grade, but students have to understand that it is only one component of what they need for the future.
The components may, like other things, not be appreciated at the moment, but we must still strive to make the prospective teachers aware that true understanding as well as grades are important.
This is one of those places that university professors can also use good practice in testing. If we are only asking simplistic questions that require little understanding of content to assign grades, maybe we need to rethink what we do.
Question from: Sterling, Virginia
What is your view on the trend of more students taking advanced math courses at the high school level? It seems that we are trying to push students to learn certain mathematics topics at an earlier and earlier age, and the result is a superficial understanding.
Johnny Lott: Interesting question. The bigger issue to having more students taking advanced mathematics courses at any level is what the plan is for the students beyond the particular level. For example, for those states, schools, and districts that are requiring algebra in seventh or eighth grade, if there is no plan for solid mathematics courses or studies for students who reach the upper grades in high school, then the idea is really not good at all. The same can be said of many of the high school courses that are "pushed down" to lower grades. There must be a plan for ALL students that allows them access to good mathematics at the upper grades. What we do not need is students completing all requirements at the tenth or eleventh grade and taking no math in their junior or senior years.
There is a wealth of good mathematics topics that could require creation of yet more math courses if curriculum is pushed to lower grades.
I've not touched on whether or not it is reasonable for students to study more advanced topics at lower grades. Just as research is needed to back up practice, any school doing this needs to look at learning theory or cognition research to be informed when making serious decisions like these.

I suppose it's fair to say that I haven't been as invested in Olivia Munn's personal life as someone who's supposed to know their way around Hollywood gossip should, since I had no clue until I checked out these pictures of Munn arriving and departing the HBO pre-Golden Globes party with ROBOCOP reboot man, Joel Kinnaman, that the two were dating. In fact, they've been a couple since mid-2012, so that really goes to prove that either I'm oblivious or I honestly don't give a shit about her love life. (Unless it involves Kinnaman, who I find attractive in a tall version of Eminem kinda way.)
The couple were hanging out and perhaps celebrating the fact that Variety magazine decided to give Munn the 2014 Breakthrough Actress award... which again, stumps the f*ck out of me, since I was unaware that she could still be considered a "Breakthrough" actress at this stage in her career or that she'd been particularly exceptional on "The Newsroom."
